Did you try a different cable (use the Sony provided one) and a different port?

I know, you could just add that to the 58% who say it works fine.
Ah, I really just meant that there's no way Sony could ever 100% know the number, either.

Don't let it.
Mine has been a champ since last night and running flawlessly.
Killzone and NFS are so rad!
I acknowledge errors and faults exist but many, many systems will never experience a problem, too.

Yoshida publicly said that based on their current estimates, it's about 0.4%, which is within their expected failure rate for launching a new product, and is consistent with other products as well.
15%.... so you are saying 1 out of 7 people has a dead console. I think we would see a heck of a lot more posts.... even from the Taco bell batch by now.

I only trust Nintendo with launch day. We had freezes and performance issues but nothing like this.

That was my thinking as well, unless Sony are being complete asshats and have created their own proprietary hdmi port just for the PS4, effectively rendering all other cables useless. I don't think this was intentional.
I thought I might have a had a defective unit last night. Im still a little leary tbh. I was in the middle of playing Shadowfall when all audio just cut out completely. Backing out of the game didn't fix it either, the entire system just went mute. I had to do a hard reboot and after that audio seems to be working now but I'm still paranoid.
I figure it could have been some dust on the toslink cable or something.... I hope

They will get close. You think if people do an exchange to a retailer, that retailer is just going to toss it in the trash? Fuck that, they will send it back to Sony as well.

Thanks, but still. That is based on the amount of broken consoles GAF is aware of..? lol at that being a statistic.
EDIT: Sony said that.. Hmm.. I stand corrected.

Is this sarcasm? I remember Wii U having a lot of hw issues at launch.

Yup tried it all. Different cables, different ports, different tvs, etc. All of it.
Yoshida twitted that.
It was 0.04% according to Yoshida's twitter.

That seems to be a problem with some people using optical audio. Bring up your system settings and switch between dolby/dts to linear pcm and then switch back. Solves the problem for me after I do it once or twice.

bummer to hear about OP and others that have posted in this thread, thats one of my fears for day 1 systems, having it go dead since there is such limited supply
hope you get a replacement soon

When you say burned out, you mean her PS4 was working..then after playing it for a couple hours it broke?
Yikes. Now I'm paranoid.
True, but I bet a lot of systems are sitting dormant as Xmas presents too.

It's not that much more risky than buying it later in the cycle. The difference is that when 3,000,000 people buy something on the same day, the absolute quanitty of complaints you hear at one time is going to be higher than if the same 3,000,000 people buy something spread out over an entire year, so it gives the false illusion of a problem when there really isn't one.
And that was a mistake.

Then I have no clue what number you are looking for then. I was talking general failure rates in the first year. You seem to only be concerned about Day One numbers. Sony will know about the borked Christmas systems soon after.
Still working for now, and about to play a game but there is a slight rattle coming form it which i suspect is the fan as it is doing it while idling and not executing any programs.
and it feels like it is running warmer then described in some of the articles. But I could be just off on how warm/cold it should be normally speaking as I have no real reference right now.
I hope it holds up , but even if it does I will call it in at a later date when it is not so busy. Makes me a bit nervous but what can you do.
So here goes....
anyone here a rattle from their ps4?

Sorry I edited that we had freezes and slowness but I don't remember Wii Us getting hot or having issues with the HW.
No intention to shit the thread just sharing my experience, I hope this is not widespread. I may plan to get a PS4 later still undecided between PC and PS4.
My 2007 Wii is still kicking and it still gets used a lot.

It sucks that it broke but man the PS4 really does look nice in a TV stand/Home theatre setup
PR shots almost don't do it justice.

Nintendo's hardware is extremely reliable. Both my N64 and GC are still going strong, after a couple falls even. I have a PS2 Slim that's on its 3rd lens and has presented other issues, I have no clue why, since it was never dropped and it's, by at least 7 years, the newest of the three.

Might sell my launch unit until this gets sorted out and will repurchase in Jan.
Ah, gotcha. I wonder how high is that figure now.
This is a long shot, but for those with HDMI issues, have you tried using a good quality splitter between the PS4 and the TV? My Xbox 360 would have weird HDMI handshake issues with one of my older monitors, and the only way to fix it was to pass the signal through a splitter. Might be worth a shot for some people.

You could take every single internet report of a problem, combine them and I doubt that would be even .04% of the amount of consoles sold last night.
If it was 1,000,000 then the electronic average of 5% failures means 50,000 consoles can be expected to be faulty in some way.

The HDMI doesn't touch it. It's all the way in the back. If you have a PS4, look at yours. It's there.

How many cases of faulty hardware do we have on Neogaf anyway?

We really need these condensed into one thread, with the issues in the OP and ongoing updates if there any from those experiencing issues.
Do we think its a good idea to install the update at the first boot up? i.e. do the first boot right into recovery mode and install from USB?
Has anyone done that?

PS4 is like the version of Seymour on Mt. Gagazet to me right now.
Yes, I set up a Troubleshooting / Q&A thread so we can consolidate issues and see if we can help anyone fix anything. Let's channel things into there instead of arguing about defect rates.
